Study the History of African American Images in Film
|
What:
Engl 445: History of African American Images in Film
Who:
Taught by Dr. Novotny Lawrency, Associate Professor in the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication and the English Department
When: Spring 2020
Why:
- What was the catalyst for #OscarsSoWhite in 2016?
- Why is Black Panther considered a cinematic milestone when other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have also performed incredibly well at the global box office?
- In September 2018, why did actress Viola Davis state in interviews that she regrets appearing in The Help (2011)?
This course is an historical and critical examination of the diverse images of African-Americans in cinema since the medium emerged as a popular form of entertainment. This cinematic exploration will be informed by discussions of U.S. politics, economics, and culture, important factors that play a significant role in the construction of African American filmic identities. While narrative and non-narrative cinema are the primary focus of the course, Black representations also subject to exploration may include hip-hop music/videos, television news, reality television, sports, memes, YouTube videos, and other relevant media as they arise over the duration of the semester.

Reynolds Journalism Institute Student Innovation Competition
|
What:
The Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute is hosting a student development competition that allows interdisciplinary U.S. college students to come together to develop an app, prototype, program that could solve a journalism challenge. This year’s challenge is to create a program, tool or prototype for photo, video or audio verification. Deep fake videos, fabricated photos and audio are among the biggest challenges the news industry faces. Lawmakers have considered legislation against false images, but how long will it take for policies to be implemented and will they be able to solve the problem?

all U.S. college students
. Typically teams come from various backgrounds including computer science, journalism and business. This year there must be at least one journalism or communications student on the team.
Where:
Develop the idea from your school or university. If your team is selected as a finalist, you would come to the Missouri School of Journalism on Sat. Feb. 8 to present in front of a panel of industry judges and the public.
When:
Students who plan to enter the competition have the next three months to build their tool, prototype or program.
Why:
1. Chance to win up to $10,000 in prize money
2. Looks good on your resume.
3. Your finished prototype could turn into a future business opportunity.
